Chapter 121: Going to the packhouse

Amber felt like she was overwhelmed with the things happening around her. It was just a few minutes ago when she saw that there was a fight between two shifters in front of her. And then suddenly, when some black fog appeared, Erick had stood up and knelt down on one knee and it looked like he had something to do with the disappearance of the fog. Then he fainted. Then there was a naked man checking up on Luka.

She held her head in confusion. Seriously, what is going on??

She sneaked a glance at Erick, who was still unconscious on Hamish's back. She could have sworn that he had worn different clothes. And she had a feeling that the shifter that had talked to her before she rushed out to look for Hamish was Erick. Even if she didn't see him shift, she noticed that when the shifter appeared, she could not see Erick anywhere.

Could it be…?

She shook her head out of these thoughts. Really? Do they even exist? She wasn't sure how to make out her feelings. Wasn't she supposed to be scared? She looked down at her trembling hands. She couldn't sense any fear and horror. Instead, she felt another emotion surging inside her. Excitement? That was weird. How could she feel excited?

She sneaked another look at Erick. And she recalled back the times she had spent with him. Yes, he can be so possessive and clingy. But that was probably how he showed his love. Was it because she hasn't told him that she loves him? She has heard words of love from him numerous times but she hasn't returned the sentiment back. Instead, she would just smile. Yes, she likes him. But she wasn't sure whether it had become love or not.

While she was lost in thoughts, the man who had checked up on Luka, went and carried the latter on his back. He stood up and was about to leave the park when he noticed that the young lady was still in the clouds, looking a bit dazed.

"We should get out of here before anyone comes," he suggested. He looked around him and winced. The Alpha will be furious when he hears the mess that they made in this park.

Amber blinked her eyes furiously, getting back her senses. She hurriedly stood up and brushed away the dust and dirt from her pants. She looked over and saw Hamish already heading towards the exit with Erick on his back.

She quickly ran after them, all the while shouting, "Hey! Wait for me!"

When she saw Hamish stopped in front of the entrance of the park, he turned to her and asked, "Where's the car?"

She scratched the back of her head, looking awkward and mumbled softly, "Uh… It's still at the amusement park parking lot."

"Why the feck didn't you drive it here?" he asked angrily, flabbergasted at her answer. Why did she return here if she didn't drive the car back here?

"How can I drive over when I don't even know how to drive, you ignoramos idiot!" she shouted back.

The two of them then glared at each other.

Hamish let out a long sigh. "You could have told me earlier," he mumbled.

Then there was a chuckle, not far from where they were standing and the two of them turned to find Noaz smiling at them. "Now, now, kiddies. Let's not fight and let's get back. We need to get these two checked up!" He then turned his head again to look at the mess that they have left behind and let out a sigh. He really did not know how to explain to his Alpha. First, there was an attack on the mayor and the other candidates. And now, this. Seems like the pack has a lot on their plate.

Noaz walked over to Amber and held out his hand. Understanding what he wants, Amber handed him the car keys.

He then pocketed the keys and placed Luka gently on the ground. He turned to Hamish and said, "I'll go get the car."

Without waiting for Hamish to answer, he was already gone, much to Amber's surprise. "Where did he just go?" she shouted in surprise.

"To get the car, of course," Hamish said, looking at her with disdain. "Didn't you hear what he just said?"

Amber scowled at him. What's wrong with this guy? Was he trying to pick a fight? "Bruh, he's not a human, is he?" she asked suspiciously.

Hamish just kept quiet and looked at the other way.

She narrowed her eyes and shortly after, Noaz arrived with the car.

He parked the car beside them and got out. He then went over and picked Luka up gently. He placed him at the backseat and turned to Hamish, who was still carrying Erick. "Put him beside Luka."

After the two were already inside the car, Noaz handed Hamish the car keys and said, "Go drive the car back to the packhouse. I'll meet you there."

Hamish nodded.

Amber then stepped forward. "I'm coming too," she said loudly, butting in the conversation.

Both Noaz and Hamish looked at her and then at each other and then back again at Amber.

Noaz shrugged. "You can send her back to her home then," he said.

Amber stomped her foot, feeling frustrated. "No! I'm going to this pack house or house or whatever you call it!" she stubbornly said.

Hamish felt torn. He did not know what to do with this stubborn young lady. Their pack house has always been a secret. And even though there was a huge probability that she knew about their race, it doesn't mean that they would feel open about it. Then again, it was hard to think about it since she is Eric's mate. Sooner or later, she will know about werewolves and all. But he just felt that it was Eric's right to tell her about it first, not them.

Hamish looked at Noaz and saw that he, too, was torn. However, he could see the latter looked a bit dazed and he knew that he was currently sending a mindlink over to someone. Because not sooner than that, he heard Noaz talk to her, "Alright, you can join us."

Noaz then turned to Hamish. "Your dad is waiting for us at the packhouse too. Go straight there and don't stop by anywhere else."

Hamish nodded.

With that, Noaz ran off, leaving the two of them alone.

"Is he really going to walk home? Isn't the place so far?" Amber asked, surprised that they were just going to let Noaz walk home.

Hamish just shrugged.

Without another word to Amber, he got in the driver's seat. Amber followed suit where she immediately slid to the front passenger seat.

Erick was still unconscious at the backseat, with Luka lying on top of him.

She turned around in her seat and looked at the two, wishing with all her heart that they were going to be fine.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Hamish said, "Don't worry. They will be fine. No use worrying over something you can't do."

Amber turned back around and sighed. "True," she reluctantly agreed. She then asked, "So where are we headed to? And don't you send me back home! I'm joining you."

Hamish rolled his eyes. "No, I won't," he answered. "We're going to the packhouse."

"Packhouse?" she repeated.

Hamish nodded. "It's where most of the shifters in town live," he answered simply.

Her eyes widened. So it was true. Shifters do exist in this town.

"So am I going to see a real shifter?"

Hamish just kept quiet as he drove them, heading towards the packhouse.

Amber sighed as she looked out the window. She did not know what to expect when she finally arrived at the packhouse but she hoped to get her answers.
